About us

          GOTHIC was started in 1992 by Alin Petrut in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains of Transilvania, Romania, becoming in a short period of time one of the most respected metal bands in Romania. Having played in over 300 gigs so far, Gothic is a real metal force onstage, playing almost in all the occasions in full-house clubs in Romania. Their debut album (Touch Of Eternity - 1998 Bestial Rec) was one of the best selling albums of the romanian metal stage back in the 90..s, songs like ..Anguish.., ..Memorial Winter.. or ..Regrets.. turning into real metal hymns. Metal Hammer gave 9 (from 10) reviewing this album.

           Alin Petrut moved the band in Belgium between 2000-2004,and along with belgian members released the second album ..In Blood We Trust.. in 2004 at Painkiller Rec. The album was released under the name Innerfire, because another Gothic band existed in France at the time, and Painkiller rec. didn..t want to have any problems. Being expeled from Belgium due to his illegal situation Alin Petrut recreated the band Gothic in Romania in 2005. To this occassion the anniversary autoproduced album ..12 Years Of True Metal..was released. Their music can be defined as a good combination of death metal with darker elements, all with excellent powerful guitar riffs. Loud rhythmic riffs are used mostly, and they are essential to add heaviness to the music because mere speed is not enough. There are three types of vocals. A death-metal one, a screaming type closer to black metal one, and a third one, more melodical. All of this gives a good combination of dark brutal vibes. The sound is concentrated especially on the guitars, which is essential to manifestate all the power of the band.

           The band has presently finished recording the new album Fall Of Gods which is due to be released in 2010. .
